Kindergarten-Prep Classes for Ages 4-5
"Play And Learn through Song"
Come play and learn through song in Preschool PALS! While this is not a licensed preschool, our end goal is the same: to prepare students academically for kindergarten. We simply achieve it a little differently, by combining traditional preK instruction with musical fun. The PALS program operates through Mrs. Wenger's in-home music studio.
We're thrilled to celebrate a milestone in 2024: this year marks over 100 children participating since 2017! This program began to meet the needs of a certain group of children... but God had other ideas in mind and has grown this class to serve dozens of local families! We praise Him for his faithfulness!
Striving for excellence, and to reassure parents of high standards, we've asked for input from Elco kindergarten teachers. Our goal is to equip each child not just for kindergarten success, but a lifetime of learning! Programs run from September through mid-May.
PLEASE NOTE: WE CANNOT SERVE STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL OR BEHAVIORAL NEEDS. We serve children who can function independently within a class setting.
​
We run a Christian program, meaning a biblical worldview guides our teaching philosophy. All staff have completed proper background checks. Our child/staff ratio of 5:1 ensures that pupils are given individual attention!
